In our issue Of January 10th under
the caption of "Silver and Nickel" we
stated that the highest assay obtained
from a certain mine in this vicinity was
49Il ounces, which was followed by a
mention Of other assays OF lesser
amounts. Hills papers from Hot Springs
to Spearish provokingly if not purpose
ly misquoted us by giving the amount
Of the highest assay 40! ounces instead
of 491a as it plainly appeared in the
CHRONICLE. Errors Of this character
have a very decided tendency to draw
from us words which in their character
are not strictly appropriate TO ears
polite, but with characteristic fortitude
We b~enignly forbear.

The Lady Washington supper gwen
at the court house on Monday evening
under the auspieces Of the ladies OF the
w. c. T. y. for the special purpose OF
creating a fund to be applied toward
the establishment Of a public reading
room i'm this city, was literally p%atroniz-
ed, creditably managed, and thoroughly
appreciated. The occasion Will be re-
membered as one i'll which q greater
number participated, and where social
enjoyment was more predominant than
has been heretofore experienced lii this
city. Four extension tables, having the
aggregate capacity for seating fifty per-
sons were repeatedly filled. These
tables, which were beautifully supplied
with the choicest viands, and which
we're filled no less than six times during
the evening, were each under the speci-
al supervision of a Martha Washington,
who wore "a quaint cap, kerchief and
apron, tasty and neat, but pot in strict
accord with tho prevailing fashion OF
the period, who, assisted by their aids,
demurely but pleasantly presided over
the details Of the feast, which was held
to be q very correct reproduction Of the
forms observed by their illustrious
prototype in the by-gone days which
antedate the advent Of high hats and
frizzled bangs. Vocal music Of the high
standard of excellence which has rem.
dered Custer famous in the Hills, with
instrumental accompaniment was HI
agreeable feature Of the evenings en-
tertainment.
The gross receipts Of the evening
amounted to SSl.45. The probable ex-
pense may be reasonably estimated at
$1,000, leaving a net balance Of over
$50 to apply On the reading room fund,
which may be regarded as quite en-
couraging to the ladies who have now
fairly taken the innitiatory step in the
highly laudable direction Of the estab-
lishment of a public reading room in the
pioneer city of the Black Hills.
